Uh, excuse me?

I have recently decided to stop riding the Metro everyday. It turns out, it takes me about the same amount of time to walk to the office as it does to hop on the Metro, change trains and get to the office. And walking gives me the added bonus of saving a couple of bucks and walking all of those weekend calories off.


But, that's not really why I did it.

Last week, as I was making my morning change from the Red Line to the Yellow and Green, I hit this woman with my bag (complete accident). I apologized to her profusely, even though she was standing on the right, completely blocking all walking traffic. Her response? "Thanks, bitch."

Excuse me? Charmed. I did not step off the train with the intent to hit her with my bag. Nor did I forget to say excuse me before I hit her (with my back, I didn't body check her) and I apologized. I did try to sidestep her. The platform isn't that big.

So, thanks to this unbelievably rude woman, I am now walking to work. I suppose I should thank her when my pants start to slide off.
